Having just noted Jim Wash's comments, I'd like the honor to do the
same. I agree wholeheartedly with many of the things Jim brought up,
what a genuinely nice, funny, pleasurable person Ernie was, and what a
huge shock when I found out from David last week that he had passed
away! I was so fortunate to follow in Ernie's footsteps as the next
"Captain NEMO" after his second go-round of leading NEMO, he was great
to work with. We share a love of baseball too so Ernie's and my
conversations often turned to baseball chatter when we were together at
NEMO annual meetings. Indeed, he was so very proud of his daughters and
talked of them every time we were together. David, THANK YOU for
creating such a fantastic memorial page with those pictures of Ernie and
an excellent summary of Ernie's life and passions! I shared this with my
wife just this morning. And I am keeping this page bookmarked too.

Ernie, as Jim said, you will be missed, especially amongst your NEMO
family...

Sincerely,

Paige Andrew
